You know what else I love about this song? It's the fact it isn't a song about a guy saving a girl with the power of romantic love (or sex). There's this huge narrative either dismissing or condemning girls in abusive relationships or girls suffering that the right man can take her pain away with "love." In this song, the narrator isn't trying to fix or save the girl with the power of anything. He's not insisting he understands what's going on with her or that he can save her, and he's definitely not taking advantage of her situation to make a move on her. He's just being a good person by telling her if or when she needs a friend, he'll be one she can turn to if she chooses. And if she wants to talk about it with him she can, but until that time is ready, he'll agree with her on her sentiment that it "must have been the wind."
@@daqueenaannastal2202 i think he is going to be as a guest this time, not just to sing, but I'm not sure Update: apparently he was on the late late show with James corden, not Jimmy Fallon
We can talk about the noise when you're ready, but till then I'll say it must have been the wind, must have been the wind...... that's so perfect ❤️ the representation of take your time and tell me when you're ready.. absolutely beautiful I salute you Alec sir🙏♥️♥️
I see this 2 ways: 1. A girl is going through some troubles at home and he (Alec we'll say) comes in to check on her. She isn't ready to say what is going on and so he agrees with the statement "Must've been the wind." He allows her time to get comfortable and tell him what's going on when she can. 2. He lives all alone, no friends or family to comfort him. He feels alone because of this and tricks himself into hearing something closeby to his neighbor. So he goes to check on them, asking if there was anything wrong and they reply, "Must have been the wind." Alec then goes back home to where he is lonely and needs a friend, where his mind tricks himself again. So in this it's not the neighbor in trouble, but the person telling the story because they need a friend and someone to talk to 3:
Anyone notice the importance of “Tell you” in the verse where it says “wish I could tell you about the noise, but I didn’t hear a thing”? Alec could of used many other forms to express the girl trying to say something, for example “talk” instead of tell you, but of course it just wouldn’t have the same impact. “Talk” would imply it’s a two way conversation, where both ends get a say in the situation. But tell you would mean that this girl just needs to let it out of her system, she just bluntly has to say to someone what she’s feeling, maybe not waiting for any verbal response in return, but more of a physical reaction. A think this small detail makes the whole song a lot more beautiful, it’s a crucial piece of information implying how this girl’s emotions are working. I just think it’s great
I noticed the same thing about the verse I have to go back in it sounds almost like she is gearing up and preparing herself to experience something hard or painful I love the attention to detail he paid in his songs
@@why-him982 Saying "which we could talk about the noise" would probably actually sound better than "which I could tell you 'bout the noise" but that small difference has a different meaning :-)
2 things I have learned about alec Benjamin 1. He likes sitting on the floor (like in every video) 2. He nods his head alot But im not complaining because honestly he is an amazing singer and I love hes songs Edit: floor gang 4 lyfe 😂✌
magickoya same! I was kinda confused while watching the video because I was thinking it was about abuse or something but yeah much more lighthearted than I expected lol
I heard a glass shatter on the wall in the apartment above mine At first I thought that I was dreamin' But then I heard the voice of a girl And it sounded like she'd been cryin' Now I'm too worried to be sleepin' So I took the elevator to the second floor Walked down the hall and then I knocked upon her door She opened up and I asked about the things I've been hearing She said, "I think your ears are playing tricks on you" Sweater zipped up to her chin "Thanks for caring, sir, that's nice of you But I have to go back in Wish I could tell you about the noise But I didn't hear a thing" She said, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind" She said, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind" So I was layin' on the floor of my room Cold concrete on my back No, I just couldn't shake the feeling I didn't want to intrude 'cause I knew that I didn't have all the facts But I couldn't bear the thought of leavin' her So I took the elevator to the second floor Walked down the hall and then I knocked upon her door She opened up and I asked about the things I've been hearing She said, "I think your ears are playing tricks on you" Sweater zipped up to her chin "Thanks for caring, sir, that's nice of you But I have to go back in Wish I could tell you about the noise But I didn't hear a thing" She said, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind" She said, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind" Aim my boombox at the roof, I'm playing "Lean on Me" Just so that she knows that she can lean on me And when she hears the words, I hope she knows she'll be okay Aim my boombox at the roof, I'm playing "Lean on Me" Just so that she knows that she can lean on me And when she hears the words, I know exactly what I'll say Promise I'm not playing tricks on you You're always welcome to come in You could stay here for an hour or two If you ever need a friend We can talk about the noise, when you're ready, but 'til then I'll say, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind" I'll say, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind"
@I am not good don't ask. Waste of reply honestly... Like NO DUH everyone has different preferences so the 1 or 2 songs you think is bad is good to someone else.
@I am not good don't ask. if we are comparing some of his older songs with his newer releases, there are definitely improvements :) but that doesn't mean that his old songs are bad to me 😊
Can we take a moment to appreciate the genius of this song. It addresses a real issue and helps people, and is also just an amazing song. "We can talk about the noise when you're ready, but till then I'll say it must have been the wind." You can't push someone to talk about a traumatic experience. You could hurt them more by doing that. You just have to make sure they know that you are there for them.
Here's what I think: This video is not at all how the song writes itself. Alec is supposed to be taking an elevator, but he's on the stairs, the girl is supposed to be crying, and sweater should have been in fact, uptill her neck, but it's the exact reverse. She's taking off the very sweater, and looks happy dancing. It's just that, I think all this is in Alec's thoughts, that he'd go up the elevator, and she'd be crying, and he'd thus empathize and get a new friend. But in the very first and second line, he says he'd heard, glass shattering and that he was dreaming... That's exactly what it is. *Edit:* Or as pointed in one of the replies; 'Must've Been The Wind' refers to the dream that came to Alec. *Nothing in world seems to go the way we think, because, we always think for ourselves, but the world always pursues the greater good of everyone.*
I heard glass shatter on the wall In the apartment above mine At first I thought that I was dreaming But then I heard the voice of a girl And it sounded like she'd been crying Now I'm too worried to sleeping So I took the elevator to the second floor Walked down the hall And then I knocked upon her door She opened up And I asked her about the things I've been hearing She said I think your ears are playing tricks on you Sweater zipped up to her chin Thanks for caring sir that nice of you But I have to go back in Wish I could tell you about the noise But I didn't hear a thing She said it must have been the wind Must have been the wind Must have been the wind It must have been the wind She said it must have been the wind Must have been the wind Must have been the wind It must have been the wind So I was laying on the floor in my room Cold concrete on my back No I just couldn't shake the feeling I didn't want to intrude Because I knew that I didn't have all the facts But I couldn't bear the thought of leaving her So I took the elevator to the second floor Walked down the hall And then I knocked upon her door She opened up and I asked her about the things I've been hearing She said I think your ears are playing tricks on you Sweater zipped up to her chin Thanks for caring sir that nice of you But I have to go back in Wish I could tell you about the noise But I didn't hear a thing She said it must have been the wind Must have been the wind Must have been the wind It must have been the wind She said it must have been the wind Must have been the wind Must have been the wind It must have been the wind Aim my boom box at the roof I'm playing lean on me Just so that she knows that she can lean on me And when she hears the words I hope she knows she'll be Okay Aim my boom box at the roof I'm playing lean on me Just so that she knows that she can lean on me And when she words I know exactly what I'll say Promise I'm not playing tricks on you You're always welcome to come in You can stay here for an hour of two If you ever need a friend We can talk about the noise when you're ready But til then I'll say it must have been the wind Must have been the wind Must have been the wind It must have been the wind I'll say it must have been the wind Must have been the wind Must have been the wind It must have been the wind

I love this song because you can tell he’s just such a good guy like how many guys that you know will hear something strange go to a complete strangers apartment and check on her than feel so worried for her (someone that you just met!!) that you go to such great lengths to let her know that she is safe with him and he is there for her if she ever needs anything.... This man is extraordinary

The fact that the girl in the video is dancing says so much. He isn’t painting her as a victim who needs to be saved. There’s no male hero complex here. He recognizes that she’s strong and he just wants her to know that he’s here for her whenever she’s ready.
Me: *Sees Alec Benjamin released a new music video* Also me: _high pitch screaming_ My mom: WHY ARE YOU SCREAMING Me: *I think your ears are playing tricks on you*
I wish I knew someone who would've shown that sentiment and humanity to myself, when I was their. I know it my sound selfish, but I prayed someone would be there for me but it wasn't to be. That is why I love this song since it connects to my soul.

This song is so meaningful. Whenever I listen to it, I get emotional and I play the story in my head. I think the mv portrayed all the feelings in a simple and beautiful way. Thank you Alec!

How the hell does this grown man sound like a teen when singing that's amazing as hell lol first time i heard this I literally thought it was a teen come to find out he's a grown ass man
As someone said, he tells us stories through his golden voice and breath catching song. I wonder if those stories that he chooses to write about are very recent or just stuck with him from long ago. Anyone would be happy like chocolate to have him in their life. Pardon me, if I sounded to dramatic 😅
@@jasper6796 exactly! when i first checked him out he was 25 and i was so surprised! i thought he was gonna be a teenager, but i am certainly not complaining. his songs are so meaningful and soothing

Anxius
I feel bad correcting you but *^^anxious*
He has a song for literally every mood.
I see this 2 ways:
1. A girl is going through some troubles at home and he (Alec we'll say) comes in to check on her. She isn't ready to say what is going on and so he agrees with the statement "Must've been the wind." He allows her time to get comfortable and tell him what's going on when she can.
2. He lives all alone, no friends or family to comfort him. He feels alone because of this and tricks himself into hearing something closeby to his neighbor. So he goes to check on them, asking if there was anything wrong and they reply, "Must have been the wind." Alec then goes back home to where he is lonely and needs a friend, where his mind tricks himself again. So in this it's not the neighbor in trouble, but the person telling the story because they need a friend and someone to talk to 3:

I also love his expressions sm
Same this is my favorite part of the song

Thought I was gonna sleep early but I guess Alec is gonna decide my sleep schedule now
Wait, what Time is it right now in your Country lol? :D
That’s true 😂😂
@@laurahiii7306 currently 10:30 pm, but I wanted to sleep early at like 9:30 cause I have a test so I have to go to school early
Sona good luck on the test
Hahahaha true
Im a indian
Its 10:45 pm here
I'm so glad to see Alec maturing as an artist and getting the recognition he always deserved. Would love to collab with him some day! :)
DonnyJ hope your wish comes true
yeah he def deserves it!!
Haha
he doesn't writes songs. he writes stories. ❤️
Thankyou, Alec.
omg thats beautifully true 😍
Anyone notice the importance of “Tell you” in the verse where it says “wish I could tell you about the noise, but I didn’t hear a thing”?
Alec could of used many other forms to express the girl trying to say something, for example “talk” instead of tell you, but of course it just wouldn’t have the same impact.
“Talk” would imply it’s a two way conversation, where both ends get a say in the situation. But tell you would mean that this girl just needs to let it out of her system, she just bluntly has to say to someone what she’s feeling, maybe not waiting for any verbal response in return, but more of a physical reaction.
A think this small detail makes the whole song a lot more beautiful, it’s a crucial piece of information implying how this girl’s emotions are working. I just think it’s great
I noticed the same thing about the verse I have to go back in it sounds almost like she is gearing up and preparing herself to experience something hard or painful I love the attention to detail he paid in his songs
@@amberleeperry7479 Exactly. The attention to detail is spectacular
Alec: Oh so thats what I meant by tell you, didn't put it in just cuz it snouds better or anything, jkjk
@@why-him982 Saying "which we could talk about the noise" would probably actually sound better than "which I could tell you 'bout the noise" but that small difference has a different meaning :-)
2 things I have learned about alec Benjamin
1. He likes sitting on the floor (like in every video)
2. He nods his head alot
But im not complaining because honestly he is an amazing singer and I love hes songs

I heard a glass shatter on the wall in the apartment above mine
At first I thought that I was dreamin'
But then I heard the voice of a girl
And it sounded like she'd been cryin'
Now I'm too worried to be sleepin'
So I took the elevator to the second floor
Walked down the hall and then I knocked upon her door
She opened up and I asked about the things I've been hearing
She said, "I think your ears are playing tricks on you"
Sweater zipped up to her chin
"Thanks for caring, sir, that's nice of you
But I have to go back in
Wish I could tell you about the noise
But I didn't hear a thing"
She said, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind
Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind"
She said, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind
Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind"
So I was layin' on the floor of my room
Cold concrete on my back
No, I just couldn't shake the feeling
I didn't want to intrude 'cause I knew that I didn't have all the facts
But I couldn't bear the thought of leavin' her
So I took the elevator to the second floor
Walked down the hall and then I knocked upon her door

Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind"
She said, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind
Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind"
Aim my boombox at the roof, I'm playing "Lean on Me"
Just so that she knows that she can lean on me
And when she hears the words, I hope she knows she'll be okay
Aim my boombox at the roof, I'm playing "Lean on Me"
Just so that she knows that she can lean on me
And when she hears the words, I know exactly what I'll say
Promise I'm not playing tricks on you
You're always welcome to come in
You could stay here for an hour or two
If you ever need a friend
We can talk about the noise, when you're ready, but 'til then
I'll say, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind
Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind"
I'll say, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind
Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind"

U aren't very smart
This song has a very beautiful concept and lyrics are as awesome as always. 😌
Alec: Then I heard a voice of a girl and it sounded like she'd been crying
Girl: *Doing Yoga*
So what??
😂😂😂😂
It was actually about abuse though I'm pretty sure
Ahahahhahahahaha same thought, when she took her jacket off I thought she've got bruises or something she's hiding
it was actually ballet not yoga
The sound effect in " If you ever need a friend " is very calming..
Yeah💯✨
I don't think Alec has ever released a bad song??? Even his demos are 💯💯 He's such a talented being 😭
@I am not good don't ask. Waste of reply honestly... Like NO DUH everyone has different preferences so the 1 or 2 songs you think is bad is good to someone else.
@I am not good don't ask. if we are comparing some of his older songs with his newer releases, there are definitely improvements :) but that doesn't mean that his old songs are bad to me 😊
@I am not good don't ask. not to be rude but which songs do you find less good?
he's so underrated :( attractive and angelic voice
That's how ed sheeran started. So just wait.
I know right we just have to wait 🥺🥰
One word for Alec
Legend ❤️
Words cant describe him🥰
What a beautiful message. Victims can’t always leave and often suffer from their abuse being seen by others
THIS MAN IS PRECIOUS. I WANNA MEET HIM SO BAD BUT I'M IN INDIA. UGH. BTW AMAZING VIDEO AND I LOVE THIS SONG SO FRICKING MUCH
omg!! i'm from Indian too!! and i wanna meet him too 😭😭😭
Same
Here in Britain :(
This video is so simple but so beautiful! I love how every song Alec makes tells an amazingly written story - what an inspiration!
"U can stay here for an hour or two if u ever need a friend"
thx buddy
My favourite sentence
Can we take a moment to appreciate the genius of this song. It addresses a real issue and helps people, and is also just an amazing song.
"We can talk about the noise when you're ready, but till then I'll say it must have been the wind."
You can't push someone to talk about a traumatic experience. You could hurt them more by doing that. You just have to make sure they know that you are there for them.
This song and Lucca by Suzanne Vega, right?
we are way too late to reply to this song, but that doesn’t stop if from being near the top of my playlists
Here's what I think:
This video is not at all how the song writes itself. Alec is supposed to be taking an elevator, but he's on the stairs, the girl is supposed to be crying, and sweater should have been in fact, uptill her neck, but it's the exact reverse.
She's taking off the very sweater, and looks happy dancing.
It's just that, I think all this is in Alec's thoughts, that he'd go up the elevator, and she'd be crying, and he'd thus empathize and get a new friend. But in the very first and second line, he says he'd heard, glass shattering and that he was dreaming... That's exactly what it is.
*Edit:* Or as pointed in one of the replies; 'Must've Been The Wind' refers to the dream that came to Alec.
*Nothing in world seems to go the way we think, because, we always think for ourselves, but the world always pursues the greater good of everyone.*
*WOW* That was deep my friend and I Love it!!
WOW. JUST WOW. THANKS
Woah.
smarttt

The fact that the girl in the video is dancing says so much. He isn’t painting her as a victim who needs to be saved. There’s no male hero complex here. He recognizes that she’s strong and he just wants her to know that he’s here for her whenever she’s ready.

This song is just pure beauty
“ I took the elevator” - Alec Benjamin standing in front of stairs
I thought I was the only that notice that
Well water fountain didn't feature a water fountain or even water so... Maybe it's a trick
Its a autocorrect mistake
It must've been the wind 🤷🏻♀️
@@WatsWrong Yes.
For you to sing along 🙂
I heard a glass shatter on the wall in the apartment above mine
At first I thought that I was dreamin'
But then I heard the voice of a girl
And it sounded like she'd been cryin'
Now I'm too worried to be sleepin'
So I took the elevator to the second floor
Walked down the hall and then I knocked upon her door
She opened up and I asked about the things I've been hearing
She said, "I think your ears are playing tricks on you"
Sweater zipped up to her chin
"Thanks for caring, sir, that's nice of you
But I have to go back in
Wish I could tell you about the noise
But I didn't hear a thing"
She said, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind
Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind"
She said, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind
Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind"
So I was layin' on the floor of my room
Cold concrete on my back
No, I just couldn't shake the feeling
I didn't want to intrude 'cause I knew that I didn't have all the facts
But I couldn't bear the thought of leavin' her
So I took the elevator to the second floor
Walked down the hall and then I knocked upon her door
She opened up and I asked about the things I've been hearing
She said, "I think your ears are playing tricks on you"
Sweater zipped up to her chin
"Thanks for caring, sir, that's nice of you
But I have to go back in
Wish I could tell you about the noise
But I didn't hear a thing"
She said, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind
Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind"
She said, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind
Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind"
Aim my boombox at the roof, I'm playing "Lean on Me"
Just so that she knows that she can lean on me
And when she hears the words, I hope she knows she'll be okay
Aim my boombox at the roof, I'm playing "Lean on Me"
Just so that she knows that she can lean on me
And when she hears the words, I know exactly what I'll say
Promise I'm not playing tricks on you
You're always welcome to come in
You could stay here for an hour or two
If you ever need a friend
We can talk about the noise, when you're ready, but 'til then
I'll say, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind
Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind"
I'll say, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind
Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind"
Thanks ❤
Sending love to you
Receiving love from you
Up

I prefer the stairs
How the hell does this grown man sound like a teen when singing that's amazing as hell lol first time i heard this I literally thought it was a teen come to find out he's a grown ass man
Chris Graham well he is only in his twenties but still his voice is rlly gud;-;
He legit sounds like a 12 year old
@@aymausman3464 right lol
Auto-Tune plays a pretty big factor in his voice. Same with Billie. Listen to a concert version and see if you can hear the differences
I honestly thought it was a female voice. His first video I heard was pretending soo
I love him
"Thanks for caring sir that's nice of you but I have to go back in" just hits different
Farts*
Friend: what was that
Me: idk must have been the wind
Lmao😂💀
Lol
LMAO

*teacher catches me looking at some else’s work*

Doctor: But thats 3 minutes?
*god:* ill allow it
You're going to heaven? Well,I'm from hell and Satan told me you should be going here :)
Nice one dude lol
Dude, I took the elevator DOWN, not up, your lucky mate
@@jazmir2489 who hurt you lmfao
@@asiimovawper9884 no one.
This song sends chills through the soul.
As someone said, he tells us stories through his golden voice and breath catching song. I wonder if those stories that he chooses to write about are very recent or just stuck with him from long ago. Anyone would be happy like chocolate to have him in their life.
Pardon me, if I sounded to dramatic 😅
Is that a dislike? Pff. Must've been the wind 😧
I clicked on this by accident and I have no regrets. Your voice is so soothing and I could just fall asleep to this💕
Just like jimin🤨😅
and i love ur profile pic
haha ig jimin once suggested Alec Benjamin
@@euphoria.yunjin That's actually why I looked him up! His voice is crazy young though, he sounds like a 13 year old, I was so surprised!
@@jasper6796 exactly! when i first checked him out he was 25 and i was so surprised! i thought he was gonna be a teenager, but i am certainly not complaining. his songs are so meaningful and soothing
I literally hunted for this song for 3 days looking under “girl in apartment being abused music video” …..HOW DID THAT WORK?! but I’m glad it worked this is so catchy!
I'm Koean but I love you so much.
Alec benjamin!!💓❤💓💓💓❤
My friends all know you!
Your song is very my style😊❤❤

I am Indian and I love you very much Alec Benjamin! Your songs are awesome. All of my friends know you ❤️💕

알렉 수능끝나고 내한 다시해줘 ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
I’m sooooo ready for this right now. I’m soo happy every time there’s a new song or new music video from Alec 💛
The dislikes on this video. It must have been the wind.
i love this comment
iky
Yes... That makes sense.
Oops someone dislike you it must have been the wind😂
Now that’s big brain
Am i the only one who feels like Alecs music tells more of a story than any video or book? for reals tho he has an amazing voice
Haven't watched the video yet but I know it's gonna be lit so why not like already?
Alec is such an inspirational and strong person🖤
Love from Germany
music has never made me emotional until i found alec's music💞💞
Its this song that finally made me understand why people say music saved their life.
Why the hell is he soo underrated? People are just missing real music this is amazing 👍😭
Edit: Why does this have soo many likes?! The first time I actually got more than 5 likes lol, thanks ya'll!😭🙂
